A neighbor shared some delicious macaroni salad that her neighbor had prepared for a promotion party. I asked for the recipe, but it wasa family secret. This version is very similar, adapted from Quick Cooking, changing a few things to make it more like the salad I had tasted. Ingredients:
2 cups ham, cooked, diced into small cubes |
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni (measured after cooking) |
1 cup baby shrimp, cooked (can be frozen, thawed) |
1 celery rib, diced |
1/4 cup sweet onion, diced |
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced |
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced |
1/4 cup sweet pickle, diced. (gherkins) (optional) |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, diced (to taste) |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon fresh dill, minced or 1/4 teaspoon dried dill |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, totaste |
1/4 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon sugar substitute, to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine the ham, macaroni, shrimp, veggies and cheese in a large bowl.
2. Combine dressing with a whisk and pour over salad,tossing to coat.
3. Cover and chill at least 2-3 hours before serving.
